One of the prevailing themes throughout the first round of the NHL Draft was that the San Jose Sharks were going to send Nabokov's rights to the Philadelphia Flyers.
I am told the Flyers and Sharks are talking this deal but it is NOT close to being done.

Sharks GM Doug Wilson confirms 2 teams wants Nabokov's rights. This is going to drag into tomorrow w/Flyers and someone elseTim Panaccio

While this would make some sense for the Flyers who are in need of goaltending at this point and with Nabokov looking for a slight upgrade from his $5.375 million cap hit, it could be a match made in heaven. One thing to note though, any contract that Nabokov signs now is a 35+ contract, which means that the full cap hit does not go away if the player is bought out.

I don’t believe Wilson would trade Nobokov’s rights unless Nabby gave him the O.K.

Agreed, Nabby has been a cornerstone for the organization for a long time, I’m sure that DW has enough respect for Nabby where he would give Nabby a choice…
